Editor LIGHT:
Among the exhibits OF the main build
! ing come of the largest and most elabOr-
| ate are the DOZier- Weyl Cracker Co,
| OF St. Louis, In whose exhibit are sam
| pies Of nearly all the many varieties OF
! crackers manufactured by that firm.
! The Todd Mills, Of Dallas, have q large
| pyrami composed OF rocks and barrels
| OF -four, which Is evidently arranged for
| inspection from the gallery as 1t looks
much better from that point OF view.
| DennisOn exhibits very handsome arch
| with silk banner suspended from the
keystone, having the legend, Gate
| CITY" and the arch Is braCed by
buttresses Of barrels Of Fine Family
| Flour" The department OF breadstufis
| is well filled and generally well ar
ranged.

grapher and rs his exhibit and WORK is
good. as whole, we suppose he
Is justly entitled to his claim.
Swartz. of Fort Worth, exhibits another
fine collection; these two are the best OF
those on view.
Sanger brothers, OF Dallas, have the
finest exhibit on the grounds, and each

nishngs are the most attractive, though
to use the term Is almost libel upon
the others, for all are taStefully and
compaCtly arranged. The exhibit is
situated in suite of three rooms lighted
by both arc and inGandesCent lights
One is devoted TO carpets and is filled
with the best of Wilton tapestries and
Brussels; the second and larger room
contains the general exhibit OF laces,
and general millinery, as well
rs the silk dress goods. These
latter were beautifully arranged
70 show of the peacock and watered
silks and were very effective.
All the exhibits from Dallas are far
better this year, as the lesson OF expert
ence has been well learned and profit
ed by.
OF course, the feature OF the day
was the drill and dress parade of the
Knights of Pythias, and such other or
CARNATIONS a. were expected, but I'M
fortunately many did not put in an APP
pearance. Our San Antonio boys did
not come, though their transportation
was assured them, and the COuer de
Lion Dallas gentlemen felt little ag-
grieved. However, we feel that had
they come in a competitive drill, they
would have had to do some very good
work to surpass the excellent drill OF the
Dallas cOmmsndery, as shown on the
grounds today.
The Paris cOmmandery failed in sew
eral movements, and did some very poor
marching, almost going to pieces on two
occasions.
The balloon ascension took place again
this afternoon and for a time the atten-
ton OF the crowd was entirely taken up
with it, though race was in progress
al the time. In he drill Of Bryan cadets,
which WAS in the school of the battalion,
several movements were almost perfect
ly executed. The Dallas Light Guard
broke into decided cheer when they
saw the perfect line formed from column
of companies.
j. Linz q Co., jewelers. from Sherman,
had a lady's bust with complete set of
diamonds, valued at $40 1000, on eXhlhi-
tiOn. 1t looked very handsome and
drew constant crowd. The exhibit, as
whole, was very tasteful. L.
